Help! Lucid Dreaming Problem.

A wile ago, i was lucid dreaming, i managed to put myself into the lucid dream by consciously reminding myself that it was a dream, was quite hard but
i managed to do it, however only a few times.

Since then my lucid dreams started to cease.

However, a month or two back, i kept waking up very briefly fore a minute, usually to get some water, in the morning and go back to bed for around one
hour, and then have a very weak lucid dream when i fell asleep.

Very recently though (two nights in a row this week so far) I keep having a lucid dream as soon as i fall to sleep, and always lasts 48-50mins (which
annoys me because it seems like a lot longer). After i wake from this lucid dream, i can not sleep for the rest of the night. No matter how tired i am
or how hard i try (watching 7hours of sky news really should make anyone go to sleep)

I really have no idea what is going on, and it has only recently started to happen.

I got a lecture in 4hours and I've only had 48mins sleep :S

If anyone has had similar problems in the past or currently, tips would be greatly appreciated.

Yea I have a similar problem, but it only happens when I am sick. When I'm sick and sleep I have what I call "slow dreams" where everything is
lucid, it seems really long and slow, and its insanely boring. If I were to try to take advantage of my dream and do fun stuff, it never works
out..... When I wake up, I find the best thing to do is something completely different from sleeping. I wouldn't watch the news because it will
keep your mind in a sleep like mode where you aren't really thinking. Go for a jog or talk to something that's really engaging. then you should be
able to go back to sleep again. This problem of yours also might be from eating junk food right before bed as well.

I'd reccomend starting off with melatonin, should help you a little bit and you'll be able to sleep longer and carry out segmented lucid dreams,
without wakeing up.

If that doesn't work, go to your doctor and say you have very intense insomnia, tell him a friend of yours said trazadone is very mild and has
virtually no side effects and that you think you need it for when you have your insomnia.
